do work, pinstriping work that is

Most of the visitors to my blog have found me while searching for a local striper so i figured I should update my blog with some pics. Here is Scott Green's '32 coupe.

Scott's newest project is a beautiful Model A roadster that I added some stock style stripes to the wheels.

2011 HD Street Bob

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to stripe and letter a logo on a brand new never been ridden 2011 Harley Davidson Street Bob. While this certainly isn't the first brand new motorcycle I have striped it was a little different than most. The customer is a repeat customer who I had previously done work for through Bad Ass Choppers a few years ago. My favorite thing about this bike is that Jared wanted simple and I like simple things, so I decided on Tommy the Greek style stripes wide silver stripe outlined in gloss black and the bike is matte black giving the gloss black a very subtle effect. Jared also wanted a different logo to replace the badges that came on the tank, so I lettered a silver outlined in black logo that I created for his bike. Enjoy the pics, if I had a Harley it would be something like this one.

2011 Autorama

This weekend March 4,5,6 is the annual indoor car show for northern Utah held at the South Towne Expo center. The biggest reason for my attendance is to participate in the Pinstriper Panel jam and charity auction that helps support Hugs for Life, a suicide prevention and awareness charity. These first pictures are some of the pieces of art that I donated to the cause.

The pics of the snowboard didn't turn out to well but looked better in person. The Air Force had donated the board so I added a little art to it.

For Amy who's favorite show is Grease.

Flash Photography Hobby?

So if you have been following my posts, most of them have pictures so it is pretty clear I spent some time with a camera, like I needed  new hobby. A few weeks ago I bought a flash for the camera and have had lots of fun with it. I am no professional photographer but have really enjoyed my new Sigma EF-530 DG Super flash. One of the features that I liked about this flash was the ability to strobe, I know with photoshop one could probably create an image similair to the following but I thought this function was quite cool so my resident model and I stepped into the studio to create some magic. The move being performed in the picture is called a Maradona which is because it was created by the soccer legend Diego Maradona. 

My next big adventure was when Rylee said that she had always wanted a picture of herself splashing in a puddle so when a rainy day came along I helped her get that picture she has wanted. Having this big flash was great and now to bounce the light off a wall.

My other favorite feature is that I can use my flash wirelessly meaning it doesn't have to be on my camera pretty basic photography stuff but I am just learning so this was awesome. I have been playing around with this alittle here are some pics of Rylee and some unknown shredders at Pow Mow, enjoy.

First turns 2010

On black Friday after an eventful morning of shopping, Rylee and I decided it was too nice of a day to not go snowboarding so we loaded up the gear and drove up to Powder Mountain. After waiting in line for an hour to get our pictures for our passes (I hope this is the only line I have to wait in this season) we were out for our first turns. It was a beautiful sunny day so I decided to drag the camera around to catch some of the beauty that is Pow Mow, Enjoy responsibly, I am not liable if you have to excuse yourself from your daily routine to taste some of this bliss first hand.

Aperture

Aperture as defined by dictionary.com is an opening, usually circular, that limits the quantity of light that can enter an optical instrument. Today included an adventure in aperture and the optical instrument was my Sony a300 DSLR. The above picture sets the tone for what can be done by adjusting the f/stop or aperature of a camera.

                                               

It is November in Utah so it was a little chilly to be bombing down the parkway as you can see with the attire Rylee my longboarding model was rockin'. Thanks Rylee!

Photu-tu Shoot

My daughters #1 Rylee and #2 Kinlee both have tu-tus and they wanted to go out for a photo shoot. Like most of our picture taking adventures we spent some time in downtown Ogden along with a few other stops. This gave me an opporitunity to play with some new filters for my new wide angle lens. Enjoy the pics.
